Overview
Earth Ways Yoga is a system of yoga rooted in three layers of traditional wisdom: Yoga, 5 Element Acupuncture Philosophy and the Nature Ways. As a student of this training, you will be guided into a deeper connection with your own healing journey, which will help you define who you are on your personal path, as a teacher of a yoga class, and in this world. This training is well suited for those in need of essential tools and processes to help them stay resourced and balanced. Current yoga teachers, massage therapists, acupuncturists, school teachers, environmentalists, artists, farmers, community leaders and healers will benefit from these tools that will deepen your practice and support you for the longevity of your work. This teacher training will guide you in your process of living and teaching from a place of cohesiveness and strengthened alignment.
The focus of the Earth Ways Yoga Teacher Training will be threefold. First, you will delve deeper into your own personal process and healing. You will be guided to cultivate a deeper relationship with all parts of your being and build an understanding of how these parts relate to one another.
Secondly, by peeling back the layers of your own journey, you will have the opportunity to connect to the sensitivity of your own sensory system. By consciously working with your sensitivity you will come to understand some of your gifts, talents, and uniqueness which you bring to this world.
In deepening your Earth Ways style of practice, you will more profoundly experience your innate relationship to the Natural World. Also, you will learn tools and practices that will help you live in a more embodied alignment at your core root level, including energetic grounding, clearing, and an energetic buffer system to help you stay more in balance on a daily basis.
The third element involves stepping into your power and harnessing your authentic voice in teaching and guiding others. In working through your alignment and from the wisdom of your rooted personal process, you can strengthen the connection to your voice of truth. This connection, and the ability to express your clarity as an aligned person, will lend power, sincerity, and empowerment of a heart-based teaching and life.

“Chiropractic is a vitalistic Philosophy, Art, & Science of things natural. Chiropractors acknowledge a Universal Intelligence or Life Force as the animating power behind all matter, and see life as an expression of this intelligence or life force. In our bodies this life force operates through or over the central nervous system - the system through which all energy & information is precipitated as feeling and phenomenon. The body has an inherent capacity of self-healing & self-regulation as long as no interference is present in the central nervous system. When the body’s ability to integrate or adapt to life stress is exceeded; the system stores the stress as an adaptive strategy, altering function and structure. The central nervous system stores the majority of our stress experiences- physical, chemical & emotional, in the form of what chiropractors call, Subluxation or, Subluxation Patterns.
Subluxation is a neurological imbalance or distortion in the body associated with adverse physiological responses and/or structural changes which may become persistent and progressive. The most frequent site for the chiropractic correction of subluxation is via the vertebral column. When we're subluxated, Centers in the brain become limited in their ability to accurately assess and integrate incoming (sensory-afferent) information - diminishing nerve propagation as well as the free exchange of energy & information with all systems of the body.
The PNEUMA Approach is an integration & synthesis of principles which utilizes energetic, tonal, neural, meningeal, osseous & postural models. This work centers on clearing interference patterns (subluxation patterns) in the central nervous system & associated systems by optimizing the function & integrity of the cerebrospinal axis (brain & spinal cord) by means of a specific chiropractic adjustment. Our role, is to detect short & long-term interference (subluxation) patterns that hold the system in a lower state of order & function and dissipate these patterns of interference through the chiropractic adjustment, advancing towards greater system coherence and harmony. Each adjustment (adjustive force) is tailored to the need and Tone of your system at present, varying from low-force applications, to deep structural applications. “
“Earth Way Yoga Teachers Training is up there with the top 3 decisions I’ve made in my life. Trying to synthesize it’s impact down to a post is impossible. This TT is so much more than learning to teach yoga (which you will also do and that part is absolutely amazing too!) but it is a 6 month journey of deepening into what it even means to become a teacher (hint, it requires a lot of your own work first to be able to lead from a place of integrity). Yoga is an incredible form of healing and yoking, for the body, yes, but also for the mind and Essence. In order to teach something so healing with depth and integrity, you as a teacher, must know, authentically, what it means to do your own healing.
We humans are Nature. We embody a microcosm of the macrocosm of the Earth around us with all of the elements and forces. When the seasons change, so do we. But we forget that since we have so many distractions in our world today that create an illusion of separation of human and Nature. But we are One. This yoga is founded upon that very understanding. This training, through its incredible wave of 6 months, allows for groundedness of relationship with self, and thus with Mother Earth. It restores the reminder that our breath, our bodies, our emotions, our elements, our Essence, and our human existence and earthiness is deeply Sacred; and that we have purpose beyond simple what our mind can “think.” It reminds and reconnects us back to the subtle experience of awe-inspiring beauty of the natural world around us and the natural world within us. And it is something that will impact all other lines of work you move into, beyond teaching a yoga class.
I could go on and in about this TT, there is so much left out here about it’s incredible impact. But in short, I encourage you to take a leap if it’s been calling to you. Or if what you’ve read here has resonated with you. Perhaps it’s just a tiny kernel of curiosity in your heart, for the most beautiful blossoms in life often begin as a small seed of curiosity felt in the heart.”
Bry Kring, Earth Ways Yoga Teacher, CNM, FNP
“I took only one Earth Ways Yoga class with Kate before enrolling in her training - there is this immediate sense that she offers something different. Earth Ways is much more than just a yoga practice - the blend of systems that Kate has developed is a transformative tool for these times. EWY Teacher training began for me a deep journey in decolonizing my mind, reconnecting with Self, and reconnecting with nature and life itself. Kate teaches yoga in the truest sense - meaning union of all parts of self, not just physical poses. If you are a highly sensitive person looking for tools to not just cope, but thrive, this is the training for you.”
